Critters Eating Mangoes
« on: May 27, 2018, 02:10:40 PM »
Can anyone give there opinion of what critter is eating my Maha Chanok mangoes on my tree? So far I’ve lost 3 fruit in the last four days, whatever it is they eat almost half of the fruit in one sitting. I’m thinking that it’s got to be larger than rats or squirrels since in the past they would eat a little section of the fruit at a time not over half of the fruit. Last year I used mesh bags with pretty good results. Any advise would be appreciated.

I am SO  sorry!!! Been there before and there right now  :'(, and it is very frustrating and sad. It might be a squirrel or raccoon? Really hard to say. I am dealing with the same thing but mine are squirrels. I've seen them from the window  >:(

OMG, after I posted this I zoomed at your picture (#3) in particular and I saw what "looks" like snake skin!?!? Running down from that mango...Could it be????

Terrible news,
Iguanas have eaten plenty of my father's sapodillas and soursops.
Have you noticed them around?

What is eating that green mango on the tree is almost certainly a squirrel.
